3. USER INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Precautions
Do not use this bed and its accessories without reading carefully this manual and
acknowledging all of the following precautions:
This bed is not for pediatric use;
This bed should not be used in presence of flammable anesthetic gas mixed with air,
oxygen or nitrogen oxide;
Always apply the brakes after moving the bed and before a person sits or lays down
in the bed. This procedure is important in order to reduce the risk of injuries when
the user is getting in or out of the bed. Try to move the bed to make sure that the
brakes are applied;
Take into consideration the general condition of the user before automatically raising
the half side rails at the foot end of the bed so that the user can get out of the bed at
their convenience;
Unless otherwise medically advised by a professional, leave side rails up and locked
when the user is sleeping or left without supervision;
When the side rails are up, try to move them to make sure that they are properly
locked;
Side rails are made to prevent accidental falls. They must not be used to restrain, to
keep the user from getting out of the bed or to help the user to turn. It is the staff’s
responsibility to use the appropriate restraining means, for the user’s safety;
Always lower the bed when the user is sleeping or left without supervision to reduce
risks of falls or injuries;
Always make sure that nothing interferes with the functioning of the bed before using
the commands, i.e.: user or staff’s limbs, medical equipment, etc… which could
result in injuries and/or equipment failure;
Make sure that the power cable is properly fixed so it cannot be damaged during the
functioning of the bed and to avoid injuries and/or equipment failure;
Never widen the platform from only one side. Always widen it from both side and
from equal length in order to ensure bed stability;
Unless otherwise proscribed by a medical professional, always place the platform
horizontally when the user is sleeping;
